In Russia, urged to abandon the unreliable Facebook

Chairman of the inter-commission working group of the Public Chamber of Russia on international cooperation

and public diplomacy, political scientist Sergei Markovstated that Facebook management deliberately allows leaks of personal data of users. To contain the social network, you need to create a global analogue.

The political scientist believes that the company’s administration treats people as a resource. Managers sell user data and receive money for this, taking advantage of their monopoly position.

To limit Facebook's monopoly, according topolitical scientist, we need to create at least one more global network. For example, based on VKontakte. Moreover, the initiator should be the Russian government.

Markov also proposed the introduction of stateFacebook regulation. Moreover, only representatives of the country in which Russian is the state language should be engaged in moderation of the Russian segment of the social network. The political scientist also believes that the law on “sovereign” runet will strengthen the position of the state in this matter.
